BOMBERTOWN

Instagramming the instagram. Awkwardness with the locals and a gnarly race at the Bombertown outlaw! Thanks to Switchback longboards and Rayne longboards for prizes!
SHIT'S FUCKED ISLAND SERIES
 
With the shitvan half full, we skated a bunch of Malahat gems, met up for Nick Jeans super gnarly and awesome course. mild tresspassing insued, but i stopped worrying about that when they asked us to close the gate when they left. Nick Jean came first, Browntown second and Ryan kadoranian third. After spending one glorious day without a tensor on my knee, I bailed straight onto it again. Our very own Ben Sloat acted like a big puss and came 4th. Victoria Local Josh Davis showed for his very first race, considering just how gnarly the course was he impressed the shit outta everyone. Thanks to Nick for putting it together and switchback and rayne longboards for throwing down prizes. cya at Giants Head

Its thursday afternoon at three pm, the shitvan's serpintine belt shredded, so we're planning on taking kelsey's Dads Delica, (thanks man, you saved us) we didn't make a ferry till 7pm, which leaves us heading out of vancouver as the suns going down. but because no matter how fancy a van we seem to get, the shitvan spirit always lurks. so with nothing but high beams, we proceeded to blind everyone that stood between the crew and whistler. arriving at the campground long about midnight, we didn't waste much time in striking camp and passing out. The first day of the whistler longboard fest was hot, sunny, and missing lots of riders, which made for lots of runs on what i think might be the most fun hill i've ever skated. Noah was making his BC deput and after 13 months off for an ankle injury was a bit rusty. Dion was learning fast, and crashing faster, liam and kurt held their own and Levi and Ben were killing it. The second day we started to use the Flaik GPS systems, wearing them all day, a slightly annoying armband with a cellphone sized GPS that we were told was worth 250 dollars and if we lost it we had to pay for it. that alone was enough for me to hand mine back, but we were also informed that they were going to track our afternoon runs and use them for qualifying. which would have been great. if they had worked at all. it seemed like non stop tech problems cut the runs we would have gotten in half. and the GPS's didn't track skaters very well at all. No offense to Noah, but theres no way he qualified 47th and I came 52nd. when we did runs together. He's sitting right here and agrees with me. but when it comes down to it, 7 runs down the whistler course is still 7 really really fun runs down a mountain. After another night of camping, some attempting swimming in a much to cold river and bagels for dinner, it was race day. I woke up to the greatest weather report i could possibly see. rain. Levi moved on twice in juniors, Ben and Noah moved on once. The race rain pretty late due to an injury just before the open heats started, so by the time we had wrapped up open and made it home. it turned into midnight before getting back in my door. pictures and footy in the next few weeks.
